I'll run calibre in debug mode tonight, and try stuff. I assume the log will be somewhere in the calibre directory?

I tried the collections/tags the other day adding a few books and removing some, and ejected the device via Calibre as usual. The collestions stayed put then. The 505 has been working normally.

Today I plugged it in again, I don't think it took Calibre a long time to find the device, so I *doubt* it deleted the collectiosn on plugin (but I did not check this). I sent books to the 505, which took maybe a touch longer than expected - but again, I didn't time it. I *think* the collections disappeared in connection to sending books.

All the books are in main memory, and I have about 49MB free space still, so it shouldn't be a space issue.

FWIW, this is a fairly new 505 - received it the other week after my old one "semi-died". This one has UK firmware. When I received it I first customized it with prscust and installed all my books via calibre 0.6.5x. I also have another 505 new in box (with german firmware), that is un-customized. I'll try sending books to that one too, just in case the devices behave differently.
